What is local security group in network operating system?

A local security group in a network operating system is a collection of user accounts and computer accounts that are grouped together for the purpose of managing permissions and security settings. These groups allow administrators to assign specific rights and access to resources within a local system or network, simplifying user management. Local security groups are typically used to grant access to files, folders, and applications, and can be configured to enhance security by limiting access to authorized users only. They are distinct from global groups, which can span multiple domains in a network.
